As I have said before, I am going through my things and posting a few things I want to remember - tossing out even more. When the internet was brand new (in ancient times) this poem floated around. I have no idea who wrote because it was given many authors names, including several from the First Quorum of Seventy. For my grandchildren: The TV Guide used ot come in the form of a magazine - when all magazines came only in hardcopy. You could buy it at the grocery store in the checkout line or have it sent to your home. In many homes it was more read then than the Bible or Book of Mormon. This poem could fit for any of the scriptures.
The Book of Mormon and TV Guide
Author Unknown
On the table side by side, the Book of Mormon and the TV Guide
One well worn and cherished with pride, not the Book of Mormon but the TV Guide.
One is used daily to help folks decide, not the Book of Mormon, but the TV Guide.
As the pages are turned what shall they see?
What does it matter - just turn on the TV!
So they open the book from which the confide, not the Book of Mormon but the TV Guide.
The word of God is seldom read, maybe a verse here and there before we fall into bed.
Most nights exhausted and tired as can be, not from reading the Book of Mormon but from watching TV.
So back on the table side by side, the Book of Mormon and the TV Guide
The Plan of Salvation is full and free - but its found in the scriptures and not on the TV.
(Alternate ending)
But its found in the Book of Mormon and not on the TV.
